Does your strawberry cheesecake recipe include gelatin?

I came across a few strawberry cheesecake recipes that use gelatin and I'm wondering if it's common. Does using gelatin help with the texture or firmness? Would love to hear if anyone prefers their recipe with or without gelatin and why!

Yeah, I've tried recipes with gelatin for strawberry cheesecake. It helps with texture, makes it more firm. Some like it without, more creamy, but I prefer with gelatin, holds up better.

Yep, gelatin is common for setting cheesecakes! Some prefer it lighter, but I love the classic jiggle. Your call!

Gelatin is often used in strawberry cheesecake for a firmer texture and to hold it together. However, some recipes skip the gelatin for a creamier texture. It's all about personal preference!
